Two ways to fold paper: Origami and Kal-i-gami - Redrum - 04-06-2012
From the same people who brought you Kal Athletics'Â annual $$ millions deficit...
The Daily C_a_lifornian on a tipping point, maybe gone.

The death of the Daily Californian is not something I will celebrate.

I was on the Stanford campus a month ago or so and wondered whether or not students still read the daily. Back in the day it was my source of news and entertainment while waiting for a class to start, and was a gerat way to stay awake if the class was, well, boring.
I just can't imagine that today's students would see the Daily as quite so valuable. The UCB Daily must suffer from the same set of problems. And that is too bad because I would guess that for many in the media business their college press experience was an important foundation and proving ground.
However given UCB's sorry financial state it just seems unfair to layer on more mandatory student fees. I don't think the student fees should be required to subsidize baseball and softball and I would probably apply the same standard to newspapers, telegraphs, and landlines.

There was a debate on Bare Insider about whether it could be merged into the Journalism School. One former editor of the DC said that the demands of putting out the paper were more than a full academic load in themselves...adding that in his experience all the J-school interns he'd supervised were wussies who just didn't want to work that hard.
The suggestion was made about becoming all electronic, but it was noted that print ads are (relatively) lucrative but online ad revenue is miniscule in comparison.Â
One note: when I was out there in February, it surprised (and pleased) me to see the Stanford Daily out in newstands in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Not so pleasing was to see that the old Tressider scene-- lots of people sitting outdoors, eating, drinking coffee and reading the Daily-- are pretty much gone. Had trouble even finding a Daily so I, at least, could keep the tradition alive. At Tressider. Crossroads of the world. Go figure.
Hmmm. Maybe Ike's is the new crossroads of the world.

I think this is one of the primary reasons I'm finding it difficult to find work. In the old days, it was possible to make a decent or even good living freelancing. Now, I see ads saying "We'll pay you $25 per article" for online work.
